We have a hen that's been broody for 2-3 weeks now. We were out of town for a week and when we returned she had taken over the nest, chasing away other the other hens (we have 10 total). For the past two weeks we've kicked her out of the coop during the day. She began sitting on the nest at night but now the nests are blocked off in the evening. In a previous post it was recommended to cage her, but we don't have a good place to do that where she wouldn't get too hot. Our dog cage is pretty large and would take up most of the run, and it's far too hot in the garage. We could move her to our basement for a few weeks if needed. Is a cage still a better option than keeping her outside of the coop? It's been two weeks of trying to keep her off the nest and I hoped she might be broken by now.
